I still use an old PS/2 IBM keyboard from the 90's. Still going strong, built like a tank. Love it. 
most of those are for gaming right, outside from that i dont see it any benefit.
Actually not. They're really useful for learning to type since the tactile feedback will clearly tell you when you've done the keystrokes. I actually prefer not to use mechanical keyboards now since I can type relatively proficiently at an alright speed (85 consistently) without the usage of mechanical keyboards.
dont like mehanical keyboards... to loud...
I heard of an interesting use case recently. Apparently, mechanical keyboards are excellent for the deaf due to the increased tactile feedback, dramatically improving their rate and accuracy in some cases.

Don't you guys find them annoyingly loud? Is it really worth the tradeoff for a slightly faster response time or the ability to touch-type?
Professional gamers will say yes, but at a casual level I believe that a high polling rate common keyboard is enough.

You gonna love wooden ones even more.
Wow! That's one nice looking keyboard! Where can I get one?
I don't like the double-sound blue keys make per key press. On the other hand, brown keys make a lower pitched singular sound per key press with less force. Mechanical keyboards are awesome! But, they can get loud, unless you've trained yourself to touch-type by not pressing all the way down using the least force possible which you can learn to do with mechanical keyboards! 
Same, after owning a mechanical keyboard for the last couple years I don't see myself every going to back to membrane keys.
Can never go back.

I've bought a mechanical keyboard, but I wouldn't replace it with anything other than a mechanical keyboard.
To OP, nice kb, but still only non-RGB.

This one is a "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" kind of keyboard.
I was just about to post this. Where can I get one of those.
When I had my full computer in working-order my DASKeyboard was great. Posted above.
I use a daskeyboard. Gotta love that clickity-clack.
^^ Perfect for mastering typing. I have the regular, non masochist type.

Wheeew.. That is the "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY" kind of keyboard. How can they make this kind of stuff? Did they use a 3d printer for this?
What kind of switches would be the best for typing? Really liked the look of the Ducky DK9008P Premier keyboard.
If you don't mind switches being loud, pick a Cherry Blue. Otherwise choose a Cherry Brown which are a bit quieter than the blue ones. Browns are also better suited to gaming than Blue Cherrys.
Ducky makes quality keyboards so going with them isn't a bad idea.
Wouldn't really mind the extra noise, but is there also a difference in how hard you have to push down on the key? Brown sounds like a nice middleground perhaps?
Yes, blue switches require a bit more force 50g and peak 60g, while brown switches require 45g and 55g peak force.
Cherry Brown is indeed best overall switch.
Here is a great guide http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/official-mechanical-keyboard-guide
thx for the guide.
